  1. 1. Exploring the vibration control potential of magneto-sensitive rubber

    Författare :Peter Blom; Leif Kari; James Busfield; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Applied mechanics; magneto-sensitive rubber; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Sammanfattning : Two new aspects of the dynamic behaviour in the audible frequency range of magneto-sensitive (MS) rubber are highlighted: the existence of an amplitude dependence of the shear modulus—referred to as the Fletcher–Gent effect—for even small displacements, and the appearance of large MS effects. These results have been obtained experimentally and are subsequently used to model two examples of magneto-sensitive rubber isolators to show how by means of MS rubber they can be improved. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Truck transport offers a versatile way to ship goods in regional, long haulage and urban applications. However, the heavy truck sector accounts for 6 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. Therefore, there is a need for a substantial reduction of these emissions to secure the sustainability of Earth for future generations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Truck tyre rolling resistance : Experimental testing and constitutive modelling of tyres

    Sammanfattning : Global warming sets a high demand to reduce the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In the European Union heavy-duty road transports account for 6 % of the total greenhouse gases and one of the main factors affecting these emissions is related to the rolling resistance of tyres. LÄS MER
